Standing in the red light of a Bourbon Street French Quarter
|
Where I met a Spanish Porter who obliged me with his grin
|
He asked me for my time, I said I'd take a glass of wine
|
And in my altered state of mind I opened up, he jumped right in
|
|
Oh, some things never turn out right
|
Oh, some things never turn out right
|
|
Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie [2x]
|
|
He kissed me in the lobby on the way to Pat O'Briens
|
No, it didn't take much science to discover what was next
|
W'suddenly a woman with a shrunken-headed necklace
|
She made me feel so reckless, sexless in my innocence
|
|
Oh some things never turn out right
|
|
She led me to the levy, I was helpless as a lamb
|
"Don't you know who I am," she said, "Your Nemesis is free"
|
I was wired like a weapon, I was dancin' like the Dirvish
|
When I woke up feverishly looking down at me
|
|
Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie [4x]
|
|
Breakdown:
|
From the coveted Ark, To Noah in Asia
|
Sodom and Gomorrah, the light and the dark
|
Chased by the demon to the caves of the Burren
|
Imprisoned by the truth in the tales of the Turrin
|
From original sin to original blame, for shame, for shame
|
|
Oh some things never turn out right [2x]
|
|
Mister, Mistress, Mistress Of Erzulie [4x]
